microprocessor's speed is determined by its clock rate. is normally determined by the frequency of an oscillator crystal . Typically a crystal oscillator produces a fixed sinusoidal waveform.

∙ 14y agoThe Speed of a CPU or Central Processing Unit is determined by Hz, Mhz, Ghz.
These are all frequencies and tell you how many calculations it can do at a time. 1 Ghz is 1000 Mhz and 1 Mhz is 1000 Hz (Approximately).

What are the speed of CPU?
The CPU speed, and processor speed is the amount of cycles that a CPU can perform per second.CPU speed is not a good indicator of CPU performance.
Which factors will least affect the performance of the CPU?
The performance of a CPU is least affected by its age, its size and weight. Performance is instead determined by model, clock speed and size of cache.
What are cache memory levels determined by?
the chip's proximity to the CPU
Cache memory levels are determined by?
By a chip's proximity to the CPU.
What is the speed for processor fan?
cpu fan speed of 3590 RPM normal(CPU 73c)
What is a program for a processor speed test?
There are lots of programs out there that will help someone perform a processor speed test. Some of these programs include; CPU Speed Professional, CPU Speed Pro Software, and CPU Speed Test Software.
What is register in CPU?
a special high-speed storage area in cpu.
The CPU clock provides what function?
It determines the speed at which the CPU operates.
Impact of CPU utilization by increasing CPU speed?
Increasing CPU speed will maintain the current level of CPU utilization, in the case where the process mix is compute bound, or decrease CPU utilization, in the case where the process mix is I/O bound.
What is a definition for CPU throttling?
the ability to modify CPU clock speed as needed
Which medium used between CPU and ram to speed up CPU?
DRAM
How is a CPU's performance measured 2 ways?
A CPU's performance usually is determined by its clock speed (separated into two values: a multiplier, and a base clock), number of cores, and what most average people don't take into account, is instructions per clock cycle. A base clock is the base unit of speed that the clock runs at. Typically it's at 100MHz. This value is multiplied by the multiplier to get the total clock speed (A CPU running at a clock speed of 3.4GHz will have a multiplier of 34 [34*100 = 3400MHz = 3.4GHz])
